COMPOSITION.

T 0 all whom it may concerns s I Be it known that I, WILLIAM'RELFE HUM- PHREYS, a citizen of the United States, and

resident of Springfield, in the, county of Greene and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful 'Improve'mentsfin Compositions, of -which' tlfe followingis a specification.

My invention relates .to 'water-proof polishing compounds, and it consists in the ingredients hereinafter named,,which are compounded in the proportions specified.

An object of my invention is to; rovide a metal polish which has the form 0 a paste, and which isimpervious to water. I

A further. ob ect of my invention is to I provide a compound, which cleans as well as polishes.

in the following specification, and the novel features of the compound will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

The ingredients forming the compound are tripoll powder,-ca'mphorgum,'beeswax,

linseed oil, coal oil and tallow. The polishthe paste, and acts at the-same 'time as a hardener. The coal oil is used for the pur- 1' poseof cleansing the metal of the oxids which usually form the principal part of the tarnish. The beeswax and linseed oil both serve the purpose of rendering the compound water-proof, while the camphor gum Other objects and advantages will appearis used for the purpose of softening the paste which might be rendered too hardiby the tallow.

In preparing this compound, two pounds of tallow, eight ounces of beeswax, and three ounces of camphor gum are heated together Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Mar, 22, 1910, Application filedianuary 15, 1910. Serial No. 538,171.

until they are reduced to liquid form, after a which the mixture thus formed is boiled and set aside to cool. One pint of coal oiland one pint of linseed oil are then addedand two pounds of tripoli powder are stirred into the resulting mixture. The paste thus formed may be applied directly to the metal in the usual manner. The coal oil tends to l clean the surface of the metal, which may then be brfiught to a high polish by means of a" cloth or other suitable polishing agent,

upon which the paste has been applied. The compound thus formed remains in a semiliquid or pasty condition and is not affected by water.

I claim:

1. A water-proof metal polish comprising tripoli powder, camphor gum, beeswax, linseed oil, coal oil, and tallow. 2. A water-proof metal polish comprising two pounds tripoli powder, three ounces camphor gum, eight ounces beeswax, one pint linseed-oil, one pint coal oil, and two pounds of tallo v 7 \WILLLAM RELFE HUMPHREYS.
